A general term for Video Game features that depend on the actual date or time the game is played. For non-online games, these are usually stored as Easter Eggs. Holiday Mode may do anything from changing a single sound or sprite, to adding extra enemies, or even giving access to levels that are not normally available.
One of the most common holidays to be noted by games—especially western games—is Christmas, but other special dates or times may be observed as well.
Example triggering times:
Christmas
Easter
Halloween
Valentine's Day
Birthdays of the game developers
Birthday of the player
Most examples of Holiday Mode only cause very minor changes that don't alter gameplay, although some cause enough changes that they're no longer just interesting, but the whole game seems very different.
Compare Holiday Motif where a singular character or setting is themed after a holiday, and not necessarily within the timeframe of an actual holiday.

In Mistralton City in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, there is an NPC that will trade 10 Sweet Hearts for one Heart Scale. On Valentine's Day and White Day (a Japanese equivalent to Valentine's Day), she says that she is in a special mood and will allow you to trade only 5 Sweet Hearts for a Heart Scale.

While Animal Crossing: Wild World celebrated made-up holidays instead to make localization easier, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons bring back regional holidays, and keeps them enabled during Wi-Fi play, encouraging people to visit international friends to participate in their holidays.

Champions Online has a few holiday events. The most prominent is Bloodmoon which was originally for Halloween, but now happens every full moon. There's also a Christmas event, called Attack of the Misfit Toys, an April Fools Day event and an event for the anniversary of the game's release.

Team Fortress Classic had a party mode which could be activated by the server operator and gave all the characters party hats, changed grenades into gifts, and altered all the death announcements to fit the theme. Team Fortress 2 does the same thing, but sets it to automatically kick on to celebrate the week that the original game was released.
There's also a Halloween mode (that began in 2009), where taunts are often replaced with a dance move from the music video for Michael Jackson's "Thriller". Which is incredibly annoying if you're trying for a taunt-kill or one of the "snapshot while taunting" achievements.
Ah yes, the Halloween mode. From 2010 onwards, each Halloween they implemented a new Optional Boss (or in 2013's case, a pseudo-gamemode involving the use of magic) and a backstory for it. These boss fights would take place on a Halloween-ified version of one of the maps. All players who defeat the boss (at any time) will get a cosmetic item that can be put on any class.
December has Australian Christmas (or Smissmas), where crates drop containing valuable loot that can be opened with specialized keys. In 2010 there was one variety that contained hats and miscs, where in 2011 they were separated into Naughty and Nice crates, the latter containing Christmas lights to decorate stock weapons with and the latter containing new aesthetic items. In 2012 onwards, the Naughty and Nice crates returned, this time the Naughty crates giving pre-decorated festive versions of several weapons. 2015's Tough Break Update (that took place during the month of December) gave you "festivized" weapon reskins (these work similar to the weapon reskins from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive). That's right: a reskin of a reskin.

zOMG! celebrates quite a few major holidays, including Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and April Fool's Day. All of these events give you limited-edition loot and/or items for your avatar. Backpedaling a bit, zOMG!'s parent site Gaia Online goes into Holiday Mode for most major events, but especially for Halloween and Christmas. Halloween and Christmas feature header changes, NPC Costumes, special events (and on Halloween, the introduction of a new Race) zOMG events, and a reskin for Gaia Towns. (The normally decorative fountain becomes a Swimming Pool, Graveyard, or frozen pond depending on the time of year.) Gaians love to join in the fun, frequently going into Holiday Mode themselves.

Ancient Domains of Mystery has special effects for Mondays, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Christmas, New Year, and the game creator Thomas Biskup's birthday (July 2nd). In a twist to this trope, the first two examples give a penalty rather than a bonus to the player — a very mild one in the first case, a rather nasty one in the second.

In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the Gurlukovich soldiers carry dog tags bearing the personal information of Metal Gear fans who sent in their details. If you steal a soldier's dog tag, and examine them through the Scope/Camera with the Triangle button, and the date corresponds to the date of birth of the soldier, you'll see the words 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' pop up on screen. A similar thing happens if, when putting your name in the Node at the beginning, you put in that day's date as your date of birth.

In Guild Wars, Wintersday and Halloween were both celebrated, with certain towns being decorated for the occasion.
The Far East continent of Cantha also celebrates the lunar new year in February and the Dragon Festival which roughly corresponds to the 4th of July.
It also celebrates Talk Like a Pirate Day with a few piratey NPCs and grog as a random drop; Thanksgiving, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter with themed drops; and April Fool's Day with goofy quests and joke changes to character models.

NetHack subtly changes the game mechanics based on time of day and moon phase. For example, dogs are harder to tame at night during a full moon, and some monsters give different messages when talked to at night. There is a minor luck penalty on Friday the 13th. There's also the not-so-subtle effect that the Cockatrice's hissing attack has a 100% success rate during the new moon.

After beating D2 and sitting through the end credits, a clock appears counting down to (or the time past) December 31, 1999. If the player alters the Dreamcast's internal clock so that this post-credits display reaches midnight on New Year's Day, it triggers the message "Welcome to the 21st Century!" Not only that, but if you try to play a Dreamcast demo disc from the official magazine around Christmas the background will be Christmas-themed.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows has a birthday mode. Certain dates, which are the birthdays of some of the developers, give a non-standard version of the Apogee theme sung by said developpers and automatically activate the game's Silliness Switch cheat, which is anything but silly in difficulty as it adds lots of extra, very tough, enemies to the levels. These extra enemies are so tough it takes several shots from the most powerful weapon in the game to destroy them.

Satisfactory introduced the Ficsmas event in the December 2020 update, which adds a new tech tree related to Christmas to unlock that provides holiday-themed items and ultimately a Christmas tree constructor that spews out presents. Additionally, the power poles are decorated and your lizard doggos all spew reindeer horns and a red shiny nose.

Metal Gear:
In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the Gurlukovich soldiers carry dog tags bearing the personal information of Metal Gear fans who sent in their details. If you steal a soldier's dog tag, and examine them through the Scope/Camera with the Triangle button, and the date corresponds to the date of birth of the soldier, you'll see the words 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' pop up on screen. A similar thing happens if, when putting your name in the Node at the beginning, you put in that day's date as your date of birth.
If playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on Halloween or Christmas, the view of the Nomad's cargo hold on the pause menu will show a pumpkin and Christmas tree, respectively.
Playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain on your birthday will show a cutscene of the Diamond Dogs throwing a surprise birthday party for Venom Snake, with the characters in attendance differing slightly based on your progress. If Quiet is on base, there will be an additional cutscene where she shoots a crate of cigars to spell out "HBD".

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, inputting the code "MERRY" when selecting a file changes the music in bonuses to a Christmas-like song (officially known as "Jangle Bells") and the bonus items are changed to be more festive: bonus stars are changed to ornaments, and green bananas are changed to wrapped presents.

Similarly, most games that feature NiGHTS (even just as a cameo) have some special event on both Christmas and April Fools' Day. For example in Sonic Shuffle, Lumina's model would be replaced with NiGHTS' on Christmas Eve. In NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, the My Dream room's music would change on these holidays.

Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams... was a one-level demo of NiGHTS into Dreams… for the Sega Saturn, with the main differences being a change of graphics and models based on the time of year and a small Christmas-themed side story that supposedly takes place after the events of the main game. Despite being only a demo, it has additional features unlocked when a save file of the original game is present. One of the fan favorites was on April Fools' Day, where Reala's character model would replace that of NiGHTS. Christmas NiGHTS later reappeared as an extra in the Playstation 2 port of the original game.
Similarly, most games that feature NiGHTS (even just as a cameo) have some special event on both Christmas and April Fools' Day. For example in Sonic Shuffle, Lumina's model would be replaced with NiGHTS' on Christmas Eve. In NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, the My Dream room's music would change on these holidays.

Overwatch has several seasonal eventsnote specifically, Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year, January), Archives/Uprising (late April/early May), Anniversary (late May/early June), Summer Games (August), Halloween Terror (October), and Winter Wonderland (December). During these events, several of the levels are redecorated to fit the theme, special themed game modes are available, players can get themed cosmetics that aren't available the rest of the year, and some heroes will occasionally say special lines of chatter. Outside of special events, the heroes will sometimes say something appropriate to the time of year as well; they'll make New Years' resolutions on January 1, or they'll tease certain ships during Valentine's/White Day.

Madden NFL will appropriately mark the field with lots of pink for October games (breast cancer awareness month), as well as holidays. For a few years in the 2010s, the game (as well as its sister series NCAA Football) would also attempt to match the current weather at the stadium where you are playing, thanks to a partnership with the Weather Channel.

In Batman: Arkham City, going to see Calendar Man on certain holidays will result in him telling you a story about a crime he committed on that day, including Mother's Day and Father's Day when he tells you how he killed his mother and father on those days. We never said Holiday Modes had to have cheery events! Plus, doing this for all the holidays is required for the "Storyteller" achievement.
This also contains an Easter Egg if you set your PC's/Console's clock to the founding of Rocksteady Studios (December 13 2004) Calendar Man delivers a unique piece of dialogue.

Progressbar 95: There are some changes to the characters if you're playing the game on certain holidays.
Valentine's Day: Clippy can only say "I love you!" He'd say it sometimes normally, but on this day he does all the time. Dog has heart-shaped eyes. Bonus points are also granted. The heart on the icoeye logo at boot is also shown with an arrow.
April Fools: Clippy is replaced by the Dog, and vice versa. Normally the Dog is helpful as he gives points when clicked on, but not this time.
Halloween: A special wallpaper is available by default, the Dog has a pumpkin on his head, Clippy has a vampire costume and always says "Boo!" or "Trick or treat!"
Christmas: Clippy and Bin have Santa hats, a new track is added to the Media Player, and a special wallpaper will be applied when the game boots. Bonus points are also granted during this period. Checking ProgressDOS on Christmas day will also give you presents under a tree, represented by a bunch of bonus ProgressDOS points.
New Year: A special wallpaper will be applied when the game boots, that is actually unique every year. Clippy always says "Happy New Year!" Bonus points are also granted.

In most of the You Don't Know Jack games, the voice that greets you as you start the game would have something special to say on holidays and various other occasions, including Elvis' birthday, the anniversary of the game's release, or if you were playing especially late at night.

Runescape celebrates Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Halloween with somewhat large events which tend to involve short quest type things, giving out unique, untradeable rewards that are only available during their respective holiday seasons that year. Each holiday has begun to develop its own storyline. Originally, holidays were celebrated with massive, one-day holiday drops of tradeable holiday items which now sell for prices disproportionate to their utility. The Santa hats dropped in 2002 are now rare enough to sell for millions of coins, and a collection of the five, different colored party hats of 2001 now costs over 2 billion coins, which is MORE COINS THAN IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE AT ANY POINT IN THE GAME. The impact of these prices on the game's economy is the reason that holiday items released now are untradeable.

Bizhawk: If the Snowy Null option is checked in the display settings, the static becomes red and green during Christmas. It also plays an 8-bit version of the Final Fantasy IV airship theme with jingle bells.note The version 2.3.3 of the emulator got rid of the "Snowy Null" option along with the easter egg, so if you want to see this by yourself you must use the version 2.3.2 or earlier.

Final Fantasy XI celebrates a number of Japanese-specific and worldwide holidays, although usually given Vana'diel-specific names and customs. The Harvest Festival happens around Halloween, for example, and still involves costumes as various monsters, Jack-o-lanterns, and handing out candy. Specifically, there is New Year's, Valentione's Day (Valentine's Day), Doll Festival and Feast of Swords (both related to Children's Day in Japan), Egg-stravaganza (Easter), Harvest Festival (Halloween), and the Starlight Festival (Christmas). There's also Celestial Nights and the Sunbreeze Festival during the summer,they don't appear to be related to specific holidays. Both Sunbreeze Festival and Starlight Festival have unique music playing at times in the towns, and there are fireworks during the former.

Fallout Shelter adds Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas modes when those holidays come around. On top of allowing Skeleton, Ghost, Pilgrim, Santa Clause, and Elf costumes, the full-sized barracks and cafeterias become decorated with appropriately themed decorations and music. There are also quests centered around New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Easter, St. Patrick's Day and Labor Day, available when those holidays come around.

Among Us puts up traditional Halloween decorations at that time, but more significant is that if the host's system clock is set for a time that is April 1st at GMT, the map for The Skeld is mirrored (this can be confirmed on the title screen, which will ask players to try playing "ehT dlekS").

In Best Fiends, certain holidays will create different events to play, themed around the holiday for special costumes for Fiends. Along with this are changes to the Slugs' costumes and the game's soundtrack. The background of the hub world will also be added to as well at times with various props.

PAYDAY 2 reskins a few of the game's heists for Christmas. These, along with Christmas-themed heists, also provide a bonus on reputation gained at the end of a heist. There is also usually something added to celebrate the game's anniversary on the 13th of August.

Billy vs. SNAKEMAN has some kind of Holiday Mode content active during half the year, mostly in the form of quests, but some months add items to what you can find while Collecting Ingredients or buy from the NPC vendor. Also, the village upgrade 'Ninja-Mas Tree' only does anything in December (And does it's thing ten times as well on the 25th).

Nexus War games have had events for Christmas, Halloween, Easter, April Fools Day, St. Patrick's Day, and the ten-year anniversary of the founding of the game. One notable unique holiday occurred when a player sent a large care package of food to the original developer, who declared the day "Meat Day" and granted hundreds of additional actions to every character in the game. Events with a similar reward are still called "Meat Day" regardless of the reason for celebration.

In the independent fan-game Sonic Robo Blast 2 (pictured), the game added hidden Easter eggs to collect around Easter time, and even kept track permanently of which ones you collected (so if you didn't get them all during one Easter time, you could finish the job the next year). During Christmas time, the game did a total visual and aural overhaul. The music for every level was replaced with a different Christmas tune, snow fell in every level, and many textures changed. Sadly removed in later versions, since the holiday modes caused some graphical problems.

Pokémon:
Trainers in Sinnoh in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl can enjoy Diamond Dust (a weather effect like sparkling snowflakes) at Snowpoint City on several notable days, including certain holidays and developer Junichi Masuda's birthday on January 12.
Mt. Silver in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver also features Diamond Dust on certain days, including the release date of the original Gold and Silver.
On your birthday, by talking to Lucas or Dawn (depending on who you're playing as), they'll acknowledge the fact that it's your birthday and congratulate you.
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver do this as well, by talking to Ethan or Lyra.
In Mistralton City in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, there is an NPC that will trade 10 Sweet Hearts for one Heart Scale. On Valentine's Day and White Day (a Japanese equivalent to Valentine's Day), she says that she is in a special mood and will allow you to trade only 5 Sweet Hearts for a Heart Scale.
Pokémon X and Y has the Pokémon Center greet you with a surprise party and a birthday cake on the screen above the front desk. It also switches the music to a music box version of the Pokemon Center theme and Nurse Joy greets you with a happy birthday. Your birthday is also the only time you can obtain Supreme Wish PokéPuffs in Pokémon-Amie. Additionally, the Diamond Dust can be seen in the Frost Cavern area north of Dendemille Town.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire do the same thing as X and Y on the player's birthday. The Japanese version of the games also play "Happy Birthday to You!" when entering the Pokémon Center, but this had to be changed for the international versions due to the song still being copyrighted at the time, but luckily this ended up quickly being reverted after the song became public domain.
The Pokemon Centers in Alola also have this feature. Diamond Dust will be visible on Mount Lanakila.
Pokémon GO started implementing special holiday changes to the environment in 2022, starting with Christmas (in which snow is seen on the ground regardless of the actual weather conditions and there are Christmas lights on the bushes in the background).
Pokémon Sleep introduces a week-long event centered around the holidays. They typically take place on Greengrass Isle, are themed for the holiday taking place, and boost the chances of encountering a certain type of Pokemon. The Halloween event played a spooky remix of Lavender Town’s theme and introduced the Shuppet line to the game.

While Splatoon 2 has monthly online Splatfest events, there have been some special holiday events that come with free exclusive gear and a holiday-themed makeover for Inkopolis Square and all the multiplayer stages. These special holiday Splatfests include Splatoween (October 2018), Frosty Fest (January 2019), and Spring Fest (April 2019). The final Splatfest of the game, titled Final Fest: Splatocalypse, took place in July 2019, both to commemorate the second anniversary of the game as well as to serve as the Grand Finale to the game's Splatfest events.

Animal Crossing famously celebrates holidays:
The first two Japanese versions of the first game would have events themed after holidays such as Golden Week and White Day, while the localized American version celebrated Labor Day and other U.S. holidays. Internationally known holidays like Christmas and Halloween were celebrated in all versions.
While Animal Crossing: Wild World celebrated made-up holidays instead to make localization easier, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons bring back regional holidays, and keeps them enabled during Wi-Fi play, encouraging people to visit international friends to participate in their holidays.
Also, you are given a piece of birthday cake on your birthday by a random villager, which increases your feng shui, and you might also get birthday cards with gifts in the mail.
In New Leaf, talking to K.K. Slider on the Saturday before your birthday (or the day of if your birthday falls on a Saturday) leads to him playing a special birthday song for you, only obtainable this way. And then on the day of your birthday, the few villagers with the highest affection for you will actually hold a surprise party for you. New Horizons combines the two, featuring both the surprise party and the K.K. concert occurring on the player's actual birthday.

Minecraft for Halloween has zombies, skeletons, and zombie pigmen occasionally spawn in the game with a pumpkin or a jack o' lantern for a head instead of their regular heads. Which makes them immune to daylight.
Another update for Christmas 2012 changed the skins on Chests to make them look like wrapped gift boxes.
Bats also spawn more frequently around Halloween.

DEFCON of all games, has a Christmas modification: the whole world is seen from a polar perspective, reindeer fly instead of bombers, the haunting soundtrack is replaced by Christmas songs, and instead of the "5 million dead" it's "5 million children made happy". That's right, you're playing as multiple factions of Santa, all struggling to deliver presents. It adds a surreal sense of heartwarming to a cutthroat game of nuclear war.

In Zoo Tycoon you can purchase a Jack Lantern on Halloween, and a Snowman on Christmas (game time). The days in Zoo Tycoon last a few seconds, but you can place all the special ornaments you like if you pause the game in those specific days.

Dota 2 has events that happen around holidays, such as Frostivus for Christmas, Diretide for Halloween, and the New Bloom festival for Lunar New Year. Frostivus, in a Running Gag, is usually cancelled and replaced with a different event, such as the Greevling and Wraith Night.

In Fly FF, there have been Christmas events featuring special items and costumes. In addition, the landscape changes with respect to the seasons — red and orange trees with falling leaves in autumn, bare trees and a sprinkling of snow during the winter, and blossoms on the trees in spring.

An old update of Fraxy had a secret mode on April 1st; a secret mode based off of Gradius, complete with autoscrolling and an inability to turn (and turned the player into the Vic freaking Viper!). Later updates added the Vic Viper, the option to turn on autoscrolling, and a scenario mode based on the one that came with the Holiday Mode.

Rise of the Triad has its Holiday Mode triggered five times a year and gives a hat to certain team members on the loading screen.
Easter - Bunny ears for Ni
05/05 (Cinco de Mayo) - A Sombrero for Freely
4th of July - An American flag for Wednt
Halloween - A witch's hat for Barret
Christmas - A Santa hat for Cassat, plus all the level music in the game is replaced with a catchy tune called "Deadly Gentlemen". Considering that ROTT is a First-Person Shooter, this may make it an Anti Christmas Carol. You can also see a picture with all the holiday hats if you wait long enough at the The End screen.

Cookie Clicker has a number of holiday events for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter, with different items that give various bonuses. There's also "Business Day", which takes place on April Fools' Day and replaces the various ridiculous cookie-producing buildings with (relatively) more serious ones and replaces golden and wrath cookies with functionally-identical "contracts". The "Season Switcher" ascension bonus lets you activate a holiday mode of your choice for 24 hours at any time in exchange for some cookies.

Spiral Knights gives its main area, Haven, a makeover and opens up some extra missions which you can run for tokens which you exchange for costumes three times a year.
Around Halloween, Haven gets darker and pumpkins are scattered around. You get to hunt for the Punkin King, who gives you three types of candy. Each of these candies is exchanged for a different type of mask, the higher-priced versions of which look less like a cheap cardboard mask and the most expensive versions lasting permanently. Each candy can also be traded for boxes which give you orange versions of lower-tier armor.
Around the Holiday season, Haven is covered with snow and festive decorations and the characters celebrate Winterfest. You get to help out Impostoclaus (a giant jelly with a moustache, glasses, a pipe, and a santa hat) who gives you tokens that you can trade in for Santy hats, the more expensive versions of which cause snow to fall around you. The tokens can also be traded in for boxes which give you white versions of lower-tier armor.
Lastly, around the time when Spiral Knights was released, you get to help out a baker whose cakes turned into monsters. Haven doesn't actually change much for this event, but you can trade in the tokens from the monster-cakes for cupcake-esque hats, the most expensive version of which matches your player's color and lasts permanently.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire do the same thing as X and Y on the player's birthday. The Japanese version of the games also play "Happy Birthday to You!" when entering the Pokémon Center, but this had to be changed for the international versions due to the song still being copyrighted at the time, but luckily this ended up quickly being reverted after the song became public domain.

Kingdom of Loathing acknowledges most real-world holidays, sometimes in altered form (e.g. Easter becomes Oyster Egg Day).
These are recognized both on their real-life dates, and the corresponding dates to the in-game calendar to the first day each one was celebrated. A notable exception is Christmas, which has two in-game holidays: Yuletide is a day-long celebration occurring every Dougtember, while Crimbo is a month-long celebration, which takes place every December.
Because of the above, holidays occasionally overlap. In 2006, KoL-calendar Halloween fell on real-world December 25th. Result: a The Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired "Crimboween" celebrated on October 31st. In 2011, the in-game Feast of Boris fell on real-life St. Patrick's Day, resulting in the unique "Drunksgiving" event.
For the first few years of the game, the Thanksgiving analogue "Feast of Boris" wasn't celebrated on real-world Thanksgiving because the possibility that real-world Thanksgiving would fall on a stat day would lead to absolutely broken speedruns that couldn't be challenged until the next time such an occurrence happened. This eventually did happen.

It isn't uncommon for public places such as malls to have decorations and play Christmas music during the holidays. The latter became something of a recurring joke in the Philippines with Jose Mari Chan's Christmas album being a pop culture staple in the country, inspiring memes and cheeky conspiracy theories which jokingly suggest that Chan is in control of the malls' PA systems as early as September.

Terraria:
In pre-1.2 versions on the PC, generating a new world during the Christmas season will have a chance to spawn you inside/near a Snow Biome. After the 1.2 Big Update, Snow Biomes spawn naturally in any new Worldgen. In addition, there is a special event during the season, the Frost Legion, that spawns a mob of killer Snowmen monsters, as well as the chance to invite a Santa Claus NPC to stay in your village. The 1.2.2 update added a special Christmas-themed event, the Frost Moon, triggered with a special item that can be crafted any time of year.
After the Big 1.2 Update, there was a supplementary Halloween Update that added Pumpkins, in-season Goodie Bags, and a graphical change during the holiday that causes Zombies, Slimes, Demon Eyes, and Rabbits in costume to spawn. A special Event, the Pumpkin Moon, was also added to the mix, as well as a whole parade of holiday costumes. Like the Frost Moon, the Pumpkin Moon can be triggered any time of year, not just around Halloween.
The Mobile edition gains several minor holidays with their own special items and, in the case of Easter and Thanksgiving, special bosses. These include: The Lunar New Year in January, Valentine's Day in February, St. Patrick's Day from March 5th to 31st, Easter throughout April, Oktoberfest from September 27th to Oktober 31st and Thanksgiving throughout November. Valentine's Day, Easter and Thanksgiving is also shared with the 3DS version. (The Wiesnbräu of Oktoberfest is present but not the rest of the items in the 3DS version and while the Guide mentions St. Patrick's Day, it also doesn't occur in the 3DS version).
In 1.4, reaching the final wave of the Pumpkin Moon or Frost Moon unlocked the respective holiday's effects for one in-game day which is especially helpful for getting 100% Completion of the bestiary as it counted Halloween and Christmas enemy variants along with needing the Snowglobe to summon the Frost Legion and thus summon Santa Claus to stay in a vacant home.

City of Heroes gave out special Christmas-themed powers. Winter events had an entire Ski Chalet appear in Pocket D, with special missions to save Baby New Year and ski slopes with badges for fast times. The game also featured Halloween Mode which turns off the sun, allows for some very violent trick or treating, and is heralded by frequent invasions of zombies, vampires, ghosts, demons, werewolves, monsters and angry women. Of lesser note is Valentine's Day mode, which basically enables some extra missions in the Pocket D.

Flight Rising has the elemental holidays, week-long festivals at the end of every month (except December) dedicated to one of the game's elemental flights. A special store opens during those weeks where you can use special currency, unique to each festival, to buy festival-exclusive apparel and familiars themed around that element. Additionally, there is an official contest each month where users can submit skins and accents, and the winners will have their skin/accent published for free and available to the entire player base through the Marketplace and Coliseum. Unofficially, the members of a flight will organize special events and contests on the forums during their festival, and it's tradition for the other ten flights to hold off on dominance pushes for the week before a festival so that a flight can have guaranteed dominance (and its gameplay benefits) during their own festival. However, none of the festivals explicitly correspond to real life holidays.
